Acronis 2015 Recovery Wizard unclear
Hi,
I've spent hours trying to restore my .tib backup file located on a 2nd internal drive [I:] to my original hard drive [C:] which just now has Windows 8.1 installed because of the Windows 10 update failure [blinking desktop].
Recovery Wizard
Select the items to recover:
Disk 1
NTFS [unlabeled] C:
MBR and Track 0
NTFS [System Reserved]
Disk 2
NTFS [1 GB Backup] D:
MBR and Track 0
None of the installation help areas I've seen show all these options. Which do I chose? Please help.
Thanks,
Joe MCSE

Hi Pat,
I only backed up my one hard drive, not the whole pc. Both of my drives are 1TB each.
Recovery Wizard shows:
Disk 1 (C:) shows 614 GB used. It now has only a new windows 8.1 installed.
Disk 2 (D:) shows 387 GB used. The backup .tib file is only 204 GB, which is near other prior backups.
I cannot understand the concept to check to install disk 1 (C:) shown in Acronis, which is my current OS and ignore disk 2 (D:) which has my backup. Please advise.
Thanks,
Joe

When you write this, I understand that you have:
- booted the computer on the recovery medium,
- started ATI running from that medium
- chose "recover disks and partitions"
- navigated to the tib file on the non-system disk
- initiated the recovery process
- and now, as the first step, ATI is asking what to recover from that backup file...
Correct?
